Wikipedia and Library Workers

Emary, Leah (2022) Wikipedia and Library Workers. In: Digital Skills Development Event Hosted online by ALN Technology Community of Practice, 10 Feb 2022, online.

Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item (Lecture)

Abstract

This talk covered how editing Wikipedia can help library workers develop digital skills while improving the accuracy and completeness of one of the world’s top 10 websites. Library workers have strong and nuanced skills in information literacy, copyright, and referencing, as well as access rich library collections. This makes us well suited to thrive as editors after some initial training. Participants will come away with practical steps they can take to get started.
